The shot-stopper couldn't prevent the Light Blues dropping more points on the road
If Liam Kelly was looking for excuses, he could point to any of those in a desperate attempt to mitigate the collapses that cost Rangers so dear in their 3-3 draw with Hibs on Sunday. But the Ibrox keeper was in no mood to defend the litany of mistakes that again sent Philippe Clement ’s men stumbling backwards just days after they took a huge leap forward by beating Celtic.
“So, I was really annoyed at the defensive moments we gave away. It was sloppy from us. We should never have conceded three goals. We just gave away a terrible goal for Hibs’ first. We gave away an awful goal, all of us collectively. The movement of Ianis Hagi, Nedim Bajrami and Vaclav Cerny was tearing the Hibs backline apart while up top, Igamane was providing a display of clinical finishing not seen from a Rangers striker since the days before Alfredo Morelos moved up to a pair of XL shorts. That’s all well and good in Kelly’s book, so long as you take the points.
"It's sloppy, it's slack from all of us. When you look to improve, Thursday was amazing, it was the ultimate high, but that's why we're so far off at the moment, because in these defensive moments, we've not been strong enough. It's something we're aware of, it's something we're trying to get better at but again, on Sunday, we didn’t do enough.”
